 When I bought my '90 200tqw in May, the fuel pump was noisy.  I replaced
 it, along with the fuel filter.  In July, it got noisy *again*.  I replaced
 it again, along with the fuel filter.  Now it's noisy *again again*.
 ARRGHHH!!!
 
 Other than replacing the d**n thing again, anybody have any
 ideas?......... >>
Beware Steve, that the screen on the bottom of the fuel pump should be
removed prior to install.  I would pull the one that's in there and try this
mod first.  Go about 500 miles and replace the FF.  You might get lucky,if
the mod works the pump will quiet within a minute of restart.  You can do the
screen cutout with all the toys attached with some creative jockeying of the
hoses and arms, btdt.
